Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup shortening
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
filling:
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 tsp lemon extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and molasses. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Shape into 1-in. balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork, forming a crisscross pattern. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until set (do not overbake). Remove to wire racks to cool.
